The new Mediation regime establishes a dispute resolution process based on tikanga Māori to assist owners of Māori Land to resolve disagreements and conflict about their land.
The Court may prevent trespass or injury
to Māori land, prohibit dealings with property in proceedings, or require restoration — but is not limited to these
grounds.
In this context, the current review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and Māori land law in general is to be welcomed. From my perspective, the most sensible long term plan would be to encourage the retention of land interests in kin groups rather than individuals.
